How Long Is My License Suspension?

Unlike most other types of crimes, a license suspension for a DUI is not
triggered by the court, but rather by the DMV itself once the judge informs
them upon your conviction. Your license will not be immediately suspended
upon your arrest, but you will have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing
and fight to keep your driving privilege. You should always retain an
attorney when facing this hearing to give yourself the best possible chance
at a positive outcome.

Refusing to submit to a BAC test: One year. Ineligible for a restricted license.

Restricted Licenses

If you are convicted of a DUI for a first or second time, then you may
be eligible to obtain a restricted license and maintain your driving privilege
in a limited capacity. These license allow you to drive solely to your
place of employment and to any required alcohol classes, but nowhere else.
You may also be required to install an ignition interlock device in your
car before you will be granted this license.
